    Tonight is the night. I'll be staying up and watching Giant Bomb's livestream. I might hook up the og Xbox to get in a few races of Rallisport Challenge 2 if anyone is still playing it.

    Republic Commando and Crimson Skies on the 360 if I'm not being so lazy. I would do some Halo 2in if I didn't have to download all of the maps.

    i at to see things end.
    but at the same time i laugh like a raving idiot.

    and to be honest, im surpised it was still going. i thought it would have ended a year after the 360 was released.

    still sad to see it go.

    Crimson Skies...that was one game that i always wanted to play.
    never got a chance other than a EB had a Demo running and it looked gorgeous.

    any chance a revival for 360?

    lol.

    it would interesting if Microsoft would allow a 3rd party setup a website to allow old skoolers to keep playing- virtual sub-letting you can call it.

    Maybe Halo 2 isn't really dead. I mean, surely the server for Halo 2 on Windows Vista is going strong, right?

    Not really. Most people are playing on Coagulation and the servers sometimes don't load.

    QUESTION :

    Is the server for playing PC Halo still up and working ? and is it free ? that race mode sounds like fun.

    And does Halo 1 work on Windows 7 ?

    For a second I thought this would be a thread about Microsoft pulling the Live plug on original 360s or something. Glad it was just an old thread.....
